Tenby: Arrest made over Caldey Island assault
DYFED-POWYS POLICE are investigating an assault which is alleged to have happened on Caldey Island, off Tenby, yesterday afternoon (Sep 1).
Police have arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of assault, who is currently in police custody pending further enquiries.
Dyfed-Powys Police were escorted to the island by Tenby’s RNLI all weather lifeboat, the Haydn Miller, at 2:50pm.
Once at the island, due to the low tide, police were then transferred onto one of the Caldey Island boats and taken to the shore.
Members of Tenby’s Coastguard team were then picked up by the lifeboat as a precaution in case the police needed assistance in searching the island.
However, the man was arrested without a search being necessary and the higher tide allowed the Haydn Miller to pick up the police directly from the island and return to Tenby at 4:05pm.
A spokesman for Tenby RNLI said: “This is a great example of a multi-agency response to an incident on Caldey Island, showing how effectively the RNLI, police and Coastguard can work together to provide a successful conclusion.”
POLICE are investigating reports of criminal damage in Haverfordwest after suspected metal ball bearings were used to damage a vehicle and a property.
Dyfed-Powys Police said damage was caused to the wing mirror of a blue Range Rover Evoque on Glenfields Road sometime between 11:10am and 11:20am on Sunday, May 10.
Officers believe metal ball bearings may have been used.
A second incident was reported at around 2:30pm on Tuesday, May 12, when the window of a property on Glenfields Road was allegedly struck by a suspected metal ball bearing.
Police said local officers are continuing to speak with residents after receiving a number of calls about ball bearings being found in the Glenfields Road and Old Hakin Road areas.
Anyone who witnessed anything, or who has information that could help the investigation, is asked to contact Dyfed-Powys Police online, by emailing [email protected], or by calling 101.
Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via crimestoppers-uk.org.

Did the police really need to waste the resources of the RNLI to get to Caldey?

Flash Bang – I find ppl who complain about the Police usually have loads of dealings with them – instead of commandeering a tourist boat they used an RNLI boat, would you have complained if they;d put tourists out?
May I also say the “birmingham ” navy use the RNLI resources all the ruddy time

Tomos, You seem to think I’m some sort of criminal because I’m questioning why the police need to get a full lifeboat crew away from their jobs when they could use any one of the regular Caldey boats to get across and back. Who is paying for that decision? I also question why the police are not doing their job properly when it comes to investigating Pembrokeshire County Council or are you one of those who are quite happy to see taxpayers money wasted?

the rnli is privately funded – hence the flag days. the other comment was a general one

Regarding PCC and the cops, I despair but the decisions not to investigate are I suggest done at a much higher pay grade than the local PCs, can I say it’s the same in Carmarthenshire with their council

Being an eye witness to the events, the lifeboat was despatched, as it also had the cliff rescue team on board. It had plenty of water depth to dock, but intended to go round the back on a search mission. This was called off, as they became aware of a change in the situation on the island.
Also, only one “officer” went onto the island. The others were community support officers.

And yes, they felt they did need to “waste the RNLI resources”. Time was critical. If your child had been assaulted, and you feared for there life, would you want them to commandeer a slow passenger boat that takes 25mins, or a rapid boat that takes 5 mins?
You tell me!
